Search icon in adminbar on theme directory does not work

[bradleyt]

On the theme directory, the WordPress admin bar is shown (regardless of whether the user is logged-in). This admin bar contains a search icon in the top corner, which submits to the URL ​https://wordpress.org/themes/?s={searchterm}

However, the search form in the theme directory theme itself submits to ​https://wordpress.org/themes/search/{searchterm}/

The URL structure ​https://wordpress.org/themes/search/{searchterm}/ returns correctly filtered search results, where as ​https://wordpress.org/themes/?s={searchterm} always returns the featured themes shown on the theme directory homepage.

Possible solutions:

• Redirect the ?s= structure to the /search/ structure.
• Hide the search icon from the adminbar on the theme directory
• Make the ?s= strucutre return the correct results.

Theme Directory: Redirect ?s= searches to the canonical /search/ location.
